1-Year Manga Learning Program
MANGA DOJO Online is designed as a one-year learning program, divided into four 3-month terms.
Each term consists of 12 lessons and focuses on a structured curriculum designed to help students build their manga skills step by step.
After completing each 3-month term, students will:
- Advance to the next level and continue with a new curriculum
- Receive a PDF Certificate of Completion for the level they have completed
3 Months (12 Lessons) → Level Up → Next 3-Month Term
Students begin with Level 1, progress to Level 2 after completing their first 3 months, and continue developing their skills throughout the one-year program.
Enrollment and payment are renewed every 3 months, so students can decide whether to continue at the end of each term.
Our goal is to provide a clear learning path where students can steadily improve their manga skills over the course of a year while celebrating their progress at the end of each level.

- What happens after I complete the 3-month course?
-
You can continue to Level 2!
MANGA DOJO Online is designed as a progressive learning program, with each level running for approximately 3 months.
After completing your first 3-month term, you can move on to the next level and continue developing your manga skills step by step.
You can continue for 6 months, 1 year, or even longer, depending on your goals and progress.
Our goal is to provide a place where you can keep learning and growing as a manga artist—not just for one course, but for the long term!
- Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?
-
Yes!
Once you complete a total of 12 MANGA DOJO Online lessons, you will receive an official MANGA DOJO Online Digital Certificate of Completion (PDF).
Your 12 lessons do not need to be completed within the same 3-month term. You can accumulate lessons across different terms.
You can also combine lessons from both courses. For example:
6 Manga Character Illustration lessons + 6 Manga Storytelling & Creation lessons = 12 lessons
Once you have completed 12 lessons in total, you will be eligible to receive your certificate!
